Doctor's Best, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, 500 mg, 120 Veggie Caps

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.

Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

I stopped taking it after I heard it may slow down a thyroid. Before I used to take it with my espresso in advance of a high intense workout. Yes, coffee was taken to improve stamina, too. I felt so much better, I couldn't stop running or making circles on an elliptic machine after more than an hour of high tempo. In all other situations coffee doesn't contribute to my energy level (I sometimes take it before bed), so it was a great combo.

Great for a mental hangover, whenever I used to drink alcohol I would have a few days following where my brain just did not work right/feel right which could last for an entire week, now I just take a few of these before I have a drink and at the end of the night and they have pretty much eliminated the alcohol related brain fog... now I just need to find something for my general non alcohol brain fog :).

I took 2 tablet with Magnesium ( 320mg) also before exercise, After a few days, I begin to feel good against fatigue and started fat loss and muscle gain on the 3nd week after exercise. One advice is do not load yourself with too much carbohydrate food ( bread, swiss roll, rice)
